Folks, It kinda struck me that I was working on the Fedora system and wanted to navigate around in the Network files systems and because I so happen to have samba and a windows domain name server running on my LAN, Nautilus will display "Windows Network" shares. Then I thought to myself, what about network "shares" that are not necessarily using the SMB protocol? What about NFS, DFS, or other network protocols that we can navigate around also? I recall in my past, that I used to access network filesystems from the command line such as: //machine/dir1/dir2 and I would be able to see a list of files reported back to me. Perhaps this was the DFS protocol but I don't recall. Anyway, the reason that I brought this up, is because often times I want to make a massive transfer of files (drag and drop) from a linux system to another linux system (never mind FTP or other commands) and doing it via SMB protocol does not always make a lot of sense because some files are not recognized by the SMB protocol and will fail. An example fff the top of my head, if I recall is a file ending with .lz (?) or something like that and I could not transfer it using the SMB protocol. So... are there other protocols I can activate that would allow for better navigation/transfers between systems like the case I mentioned above and have it appear in the Nautilus Network GUI (or even be able to used it command line in a terminal session) ? Kind regards, Dan
